Prescription Fraud Defense

Attorney Shelley D. Dwyer has more than two decades years of experience
defending clients charged with drug crimes, including prescription fraud
defense cases involving a vast array of drugs.

We have successfully defended clients in cases involving:

OxyContin

Hydrocodone

Morphine

Opioids

Vicodin

Percocet

Other prescription drugs

Our clients have forged signatures, obtained doctors’ prescription
pads, impersonated doctors, and gone to multiple doctors and emergency
rooms to get duplicate prescriptions. In one case, a patient’s husband
called the pharmacy, pretending to be her doctor with a false prescription.
Sadly, he was also charged along with her prescription drug fraud prosecution.

There may be several defense options available in a prescription drug crime
case. Our firm will ask important questions that may help in your defense:
Did you have a valid prescription? How much of the prescription drug did
you possess? Is there evidence of the use of forgery, counterfeiting,
or misrepresentation to gain possession of the prescription drug?

Driving Under the Influence of Prescription Drugs

Depending on the medication and the amount, your driving can be affected
just as much as if you had too much to drink. People are pulled over and
charged with driving under the influence in these cases.

How do we defend these clients? Although breath tests cannot provide evidence
of your impairment, results of a blood test can be used to show that you
were under the influence. We test the samples ourselves at an independent
clinic. All kinds of mistakes can be made at police labs. They are over-worked,
sometimes poorly organized, and once in a while even corrupt.

We work to present evidence that the dose found in the client’s system
was merely therapeutic and legitimate. A prosecutor in these cases must
convince a jury that you were not safe to drive, using some very technical
medical evidence.

In driving-related cases, in particular, Mrs. Dwyer is an authority and
a respected speaker. She has lectured on the subject of DUI charges and
DMV regulations at numerous seminars and conventions. She is often consulted
by peers and colleagues regarding drunk driving
criminal defense.
